GDM recently switched to a new session file format based on .desktop files. Look in /usr/share/xsessions for some example .desktop files, i've got the following in xfce.desktop:
[Desktop Entry] Name=Xfce4 Comment=Xfce4 Exec=/usr/bin/xfce4-session # no icon yet, only the top three are currently used Icon= Type=Application
While sorting this problem out, I noticed that /etc/gdm/Sessions/Xfce4 contains the following:
#!/bin/sh
exec /etc/X11/Xsession /usr/bin/xfce4-session
What's the practical difference between running
/usr/bin/xfce4-session
and
exec /etc/X11/Xsession /usr/bin/xfce4-session
?
Also, for the more complicated scripts (e.g., /etc/gdm/Sessions/Gnome), should I just use Exec=/etc/gdm/Sessions/Gnome in gnome.desktop?
